Le restaurant L'Avenue est le lieu de rendez-vous des gens à la mode qui veulent savourer des spécialités comme le très réputé déjeuner aux portions généreuses ou l'assiette de fruits exotiques.
Dans l’ensemble, L'Avenue est un spot de brunch très prisé à Montréal, réputé pour ses portions généreuses et son menu créatif qui mêle du sucré et du salé, avec des incontournables tels que les oeufs benedictine, le shakshuka et le pain dore Dubai aux pistaches; l'ambiance est dynamique et colorée, parfois disco, avec une decoration urbaine et des toilettes qui constituent une experience en soi; le service est généralement chaleureux et efficace, et les conseils des serveurs accompagnent bien l'assise meme en période de forte affluence; les temps d'attente peuvent etre longs, surtout le week-end, mais les avis sont d'accord pour dire que cela vaut le coup; les portions gigantesques invitent souvent au partage ou emporter les restes, et le rapport qualite-prix est juge correct compte tenu de la quantite et de la fraicheur des ingredients; certains critiques mentionnent le niveau sonore et la musique parfois trop forte, tandis que l'offre vegan est variable d'un plat a l'autre; au final, L'Avenue demeure une reference incontournable pour un brunch gourmand et festif a Montreal, attirant des clients fideles qui y reviennent regulierement.
I absolutely loved this place. The wait: on the weekend you would have to wait a little bit before sitting. It can be frustrating since some tables are empty inside. I think the restaurant should hire more people so that they can clear table & sit people faster. The food: the portions are huge & delicious, the pancakes are to die for ! The staff is adorable & thoughtful, very nice & helpful. You would have to spend average 80$ for two people for a brunch. Was a great experience overall & I really recommend this place.
Un petit-déjeuner délicieux & copieux ! N'hésitez pas à prendre leurs menus L'Indécis. Je recommande celui avec les crêpes au citron & ricotta avec une purée aux bleuets. Merci infiniment à notre serveuse Marguerite pour son accueil, ses conseils & sa serviabilité !
The food is fantastic! The atmosphere was like in the books, & the restaurant was clean. The bathrooms were also a surprise, as if they were characters described in Paulo Coelho's book - Highly recommended!
Perfect vibe & food. It's well severed & delicious. I recommend preparing to wait outside, keeping your eyes open to people skipping the line 👀 the staff let them in! I had to complain to have them take action about it.

Fantastic food! I ordered the indecisive with lemon ricotta pancakes & sausage. It was superb!! The service was also wonderful! The atmosphere was very chill & the restaurant was clean. bathrooms were a cool surprise too- a disco ball in one & graffiti with a black light in the other. Highly recommended!!
Amazing brunch spot with fantastic sweet & savory options! Came by on a weekday so there was no line & plenty of seating. Staff are all super kind & welcoming. A weird highlight of the place is actually their washrooms! The washroom are completely mirrored with disco lights-it's so cool, but also so disorienting to actually logistically do your business haha The food is all delicious! The prices are high, but their portions are very large so would actually suggest sharing a single set or take half to go. I would recommend their savory options over their sweet, just because the portions are so large that having so much sugar as your first meal feels wrong. I got a matcha latte & it did not taste like matcha at all, just mostly milk-would not get again. I know this is probably not the best place to get matcha, but I was holding out hope. The bowl size was quite fun though, if you want to get your liquid fix to match these brunch sets. Overall, would recommend dropping by for brunch! It's definitely a great experience & lots of options for everyone! & don't forget to check out the washroom!
Very good vibe but I recommend you coming early to save yourself the wait for a table outside. Our waitress was super sweet & helping. I took the avocado toast & it was very good but the lemon cream was a bit sickening. I also took the pistachio latte in ice & I never tested something as good as that. Highly recommend you try it.
We started with dirty forks & now, in hindsight, we think maybe it was an omen. The host & our server were really nice & we weren't too bothered by the loud music, but my companion's potatoes were cold & my unimpressive duck & truffles Benedict had eggshells in it. The taste of the dish was okay, but not great or was it innovative in any way. It felt a bit bland, like home cooking. I'd have more to say about my friend's eggs & pancakes but she's been throwing up all afternoon since she got home. I felt a bit nauseated but didn't get that sick. The food is overpriced, bland, & the portions are just too large. I wouldn't go back nor could I recommend it. Shame, because it's fun, service super & bathrooms - wow!
This is one of my favourite brunch spots in Montreal! I've been a bunch of times & the food & service is always great. I've also ordered delivery & the food held up well. The manager recently helped me out with a birthday surprise for my boyfriend, which showed it's run by awesome people too! Can't say enough good things, highly recommend.
Such an amazing brunch spot with absolutely HUGE portions. My family & I didn't know what we were getting ourselves into when we ordered a dish each because they were MASSIVE, we couldn't finish it all even though they all tasted amazing. I would definitely recommend to share a dish between 2 people if you are not big eaters. Even their drinks were large, they served the smoothies in a cup that's equivalent to a bowl. Also, their bathrooms are super fun & decorated.
4 of us went for brunch & I highly recommend it! The pumpkin spice pancakes are out of this world 💯. They have a deal for champagne bottle & juice for the table. Everyone loved their food & the decor & vibe of the place is really fun. We waited in line outside for about 30 min on a Saturday afternoon. The line moves quickly though & it's worth it!

La nourriture était pas meilleur qu'ailleurs, les prix sont plus cher que la moyenne, le service lent.....alors pourquoi faire la file d'attente?
Je ne recommande pas du tout.
C'est un ''tourist trap''.
My favorite breakfast in town!very trendy & very fun, this place is not at all overrated. Their food, specially breakfast is so creative & delicious! i recommend "Bobby does Dallas" & "Caramelized banana pancakes" & top it off with their amazing oreo shake.
Un bel accueil, un couloir en forme de corridor: l'entrée des artistes !
Un brunch copieux : à midi on dine & pas besoin de souper le soir ou bien sur le fil !!
Un patron adorable qui nous fait déguster les spécialités maison: jambon braisé !
Un service adorable...
Je recommande vivement
C'est mon restaurant déjeuner préféré à Montréal. On doit par contre s'attendre à y attendre 45 min la fin de semaine, alors je préfère y aller la semaine.
Le choix de nourriture est varié & les portions impressionnantes. Les oeufs bénédictines & les crêpes sont des incontournables. Je vous suggère sincèrement d'essayer les plats plus exotiques & de garder les plats conventionnels pour les restaurants plus conventionnels. Le décor est surprenant, la musique un peu trop forte, ce n'est pas vraiment un restaurant romantique. Les jus sont frais & immenses, bien qu'un peu dispendieux (7$ pour 20 oz de smoothie de fruits exotiques) mais en valent le coup.
Le service va d'un extrême à l'autre en fonction de mes visites. J'ai eu droit à du détachement & de l'attente trop grandes, tout comme de l'excellent service la fois d'après. J'imagine que ça dépend beaucoup du serveur & que le service n'est pas standardisé.
Je le recommande par contre pour la nourriture. Avec un bon jus, bonne bouffe & un bon café, un service moyen le matin peut être excusé par un déjeuner différent & délicieux!
